New to the forum, and building my first TT bike from scratch (newbie to the TT specific build too). Did some extensive internet searching and didn't come up with an answer, so tossing this question out to a knowledgeable group.
I am interested in using a Vision base bar in my build and I already have my brake levers, the TRP RL970s. These levers have the cables exit through the brake lever body instead of under the brake lever like Vision's levers do. My concern comes from this item in the FAQ on Vision's website:
What brand/ style brake levers are compatible with Vision base bars?
Vision base bars are compatible with any aero brake lever that is a plug style that fits an 19mm inner diameter base bar. And clamping brake levers with a clamp diameter of 22.2mm. Also the brake lever must have the cable exit under the brake lever not thru the brake lever body.
I could just take this at face value, but I have seen Vision bars and I am at a loss why they would have this limitation. Appealing to the experience here to help me understand what is the actual limitation (i.e., why?), or is it a way for Vision to promote their brake levers. I have even emailed Vision, but have not received a reply.
Anyone running these levers on a Vision bar? Thanks in advance...
